Wow, it's been a while since I've "blogged". Guess life just gets crazy, plus I've actually utilized my paper journal in that time.

Can't believe my JV year is already over! It went by so fast. It was an amazing experience. I loved Boston and my community, and the people I worked with at Casserly House.
God is good! That experience really made me "ruined for life"... really didn't understand that until the very end...and it's even more true now that I've earned my "F". I am definitely happy that I never gave up, though there were days earlier on when I did not think I'd make it through. Thank God for my community members- they really helped make it possible, whether they realize it or not- each one played a part in that!

I am constantly thinking back to the year, from the delicious dinners of my housemates (which I miss, and am trying to reproduce albeit not very successfully) to the moments of frustration and joy with the students at Casserly House.

I am also trying to adjust to being back home, and to being an adult living with my mother- it's a little sticky in areas... I'm happy to be back but really can't wait to move out. I'm happy with my decision though, because I really feel like I need this in my transition, and my mother could really use the help around the house.

Most of my time has been spent cleaning (my room is a disaster, plus needs a little updating and renovating), doing laundry, working on my job search, and hanging out with friends (which I don't do nearly enough). I am frustrated with the job situation, but i know that God has something in store for me... just wish I knew what I want/am suppose to be doing.
I have a job interview next Tuesday, praying it goes well, and will be a good fit. It is a position as an intensive case manager for adults with mental illness. The work is not on the top of my list of desired work, but it is a good position with good benefits, and will give me the experience that I need to move forward. Plus I may do some volunteer work with children to keep my sanity.
